Welcome to the forums, Nahemah! I've been playing Pokemon ever since I was a kid too, could remember my first time playing the first ones like Pokemon Blue. I could tell that it was a very amazing experience as it does not only take away all the boredom(ness) but I followed the game till now on, and it became one of my interests, really. So If I were to leave Pokemon, it'd be pretty hard to adjust! :p .. My favorite Pokemon is Snivy, as my username states. But it was Togepi/Togekiss before when Unova wasn't introduced yet. ^^
Anyway, enough with that! There's basically a lot of things to do here, so go on and explore the forums, take your time, don't take it too rush! I assure you that you will enjoy it here as much as all of us do. Remember, before doing anything risky, read the rules so you wouldn't get into any trouble. You don't want that to happen, right?
If you have any questions regarding the forum, don't be shy to approach me, I won't bite! D: .. Have a wonderful time here at PC, and looking forward to see you around ~ xx
